WPS54GU2 printing to parallel printer with Windows 7 64-bit-cannot get it to work for the life of me

Hello,
I am having the worst difficulties getting the WPS54GU2 to print to a HP Laserjet 4L printer. I know that the general communication is working as I am able to print a test page from the 
I have the IP address correct for the print server (in my case it is 192.168.1.103) and is set statically in the print server setup.
I have it working fine on an XP box The port name configured on the XP machine is LK89A0B5_P1.
The software that comes with the WPS print server will not install on Windows 7 so the address/port/queue must
be set up manually.
I have tried the link from Cisco's KB that shows how to configure the print sever:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=69efd80e2ea44d948fea2365d3e0c9eb_Configuring_TCP_I...
however this does not work and the print job either gets stuck in the print queue, or it shows busy/error in the print queue.
I have also tried suggestions on this forum that say not to create a TCP/IP port but instead use LPR port.
Can someone please give me the solution that will work. I have heard people say to use L1 for the queue name, or P1, or LP1
or lp1. I cannot spend much more time on this before I give up and look for a different print server that will work with both parallel and USB printers.
Thanks for help/suggestions on this.
Mike

sometimes it needs the device- specific drivers to get it to work; especially that you have a 64- bit OS.
the print server is already connected to the network, right? what is its IP address? check if the computer can ping that IP by going to start> search> cmd> ping 192.168.1.78 (change this to the correct IP address). if your computer can ping the print server then you can setup LPR printing to get your printing jobs done. click on the link below for more info.

  • HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

    I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
    Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
    Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX  feature of  the printer with Windows 7   64 bit  operating system.
    All replies welcomed!   Aaron in Calif.

    Hi Aaron,
    Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
    Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
    Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

  • I accidentally clicked restart with windows vista.now i cannot get out of it. i cannot eject the disc and i am stuck on the installation page

    I accidentally clicked restart with windows vista. now i cannot get out of the installation  page and no matter what i try i cannot get it to start up with macintosh. i cannot ejet the disc either.

    i was going to say the exact same thing as jerry.  You can also eject the disk in that mode if you want.  It also works if you hold down the option key before you turn it on- just so you dont miss the moment.  What I say to do is power off, hold down the option key, while holding it down, power on.  When a menu pops up, you can let go of the button.  Once in the mode, select with the mouse your mac os hard drive/ boobable and then click enter or click the arrow on it. Then your fine!

  • Cannot share window xp 32-bit hp c5500 printer with windows 7 64-bit laptop

    I am trying to connect my HP laptop running windows 7 64-bit with the home network printer hp Photosmart C5500 running on desktop windows XP 32-Bit, but could not get  it working. It shows up in the printer control panel.

    Do you receive any errors?
    Also, have you installed the Windows 7 64bit drivers on your Windows 7 system?
    How specifically was the printer added to the Windows 7 system?  Was it through automatic discovery or was it browsed for manually?

  • HP 1012 printer with Windows 7 64-bit

    Looking for HP 1012 printer driver for Windows 7?
    You, like me, tried to install the HP 1012 printer onto a computer that ran Windows 7, but to no avail.
    You need to go to Start --> Devices and Printers -->  Add a printer --> Add a local printer --> Select ":Use an existing port: DOT4_001 (Generic IEEE 1284.4 printing support)" --> click Next --> Select HP for manufacturer --> scroll down to HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5.  Select this as your printer.
    That's it, and make sure it's set as the default printer.
    You're welcome 

    I read that installing the HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5, driver would enable my HP Laserjet 1012.  I downloaded the software and followed the directions and the printer gives me "Unsupported Personality PCL"  No success.  sweet_land04

  • Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be establishe​d. Please check your setup and try again."

    Hi.
    I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
    I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
    Steps I have taken:
    * installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
    * The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."
    Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
    I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?). 
    Then how about the Infrared option?  I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info.  Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
    I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS!!!!!
    Post relates to: Visor Pro

    Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option.  Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
    Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico.  This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
    Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter.  Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
    Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.

    That line is your culprit. Whichever method is calling your code to parse the XML from the feed, wrap it in a try/catch.
    In your catch, do a System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Message);
    If you're running this from the emulator, check whether your emulator has internet connectivity. If you're running from your phone, check the same.
    If all else fails, you can try adding the HttpClient NuGet libraries to your project (This MAY fix the issue if it's not already loaded)

  • TS4268 I have two IPad registered in my name. I would like to leave one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime while I travel. I cannot get this to work between the two iPads. What am I doing wrong?

    I have an old IPad 2 and a new IPad. They are both registered to my name . I would like to leave the old one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime when I travel. I have tried this at home with the two iPads and cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

    Hey Lft1033,
    You'll want to have your husband sign up on the older iPad with his own Apple ID. First, on the old iPad, sign out of your Apple ID:
    To sign out of your Apple ID
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Then, sign in with the other Apple ID, and that should work. If it doesn't work after having separate Apple IDs on each iPad, check out the following document where, towards the bottom, there is a "Troubleshooting FaceTime calls" section:

  • 2011 i7 Macbook Pro with Windows 7 SP1, can't get it to work

    2.2 GHz Macbook Pro 2011 17 inch
    OCZ Vertex 3
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    2nd HD instead of optical drive
    I bought a downloadable version of Windows 7 SP1 from Microsoft and burned it to a disk. I have tried probably 25 times to install via Bootcamp, but I always get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I went to an Office Depot in Mexico and bought a hard copy of Windows 7 and still have the same problem.
    I have searched and it seems like you can't install Windows 7 on Bootcamp via external drive (have read it on multiple sites, but can't figure out why).
    I just upgraded to Lion after reading that you can install a Windows iso on a USB Stick, but after looking on these forums, the FAQ says it will work on only certain models.... My question is, what models? I have tried searching, but have had zero results.

    your burn is the first issue, common - reduced slowest 2x burn speed
    3rd party superdrives also don't work and you need support driver
    you need to disconnect the 2nd internal drive also

  • I just purchased a JBL charge wireless speaker that is supposed to be compatible with ipad using Bluetooth , but cannot get my ipad to find the device. Please help

    How do I connect ipad  to jbl charge wireless speaker using Bluetooth. My ipad and ipad mini do not find device

    I am having the same issue as YCandy.  My iPhone 5 paired immediately - then I had bluetooth on my iPhone "forget the device" - but when I try to pair with my iPad it doesn't find the speaker.  I just purchased the JBL Charge wireless.       
    The directions that come with the speaker are just pictures - shows me how to connect everything and what each light and button means.  But it doesn't explain how to make sure the device is in "pairing mode."   What does that mean exactly?   The power button is blinking Blue - and never pairs with my iPad.  
    Any suggestions?

  • Networking color laserjet 3800 printer with Windows 7 OS

    I have a color laserjet 3800 that is networked in an office of 5 computers using Windows XP pro OS.  I just purchased a HP pavilion Slimline Windows 7 64 bit OS computer.  The networking and printer networking set up was a breeze until it came to connecting the 3800.  I have downloaded the PCL 5, 6 and universal drivers.  When I go to add printer as a network printer and choose the 3800 it gives an error of not being able to find a driver.  I tried to manually find the driver but it does not find a match in PCL 5, 6 or universal driver.  The link below clearly shows the 3800 to be compatible with windows 7, but I cannot get it work.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=HP%20Col...
    The network absolutely sees the printer and lets it be chosen but does not let it get installed on the windows 7 machine.
    Thank you for any assistance.
